SUMMARY:2023 | First Ladies as Presidential Partners
DESCRIPTION:Join moderator Diana Carlin for this year’s series\, which underscores the two-person nature of the presidency and the influence first ladies have on their husbands’ administrations\, women’s issues\, and U.S. culture. \nThe series is moderated by Diana Carlin\, professor emerita of communication at St. Louis University\, where she taught a course on women in politics that included first ladies\, and a retired professor of communication studies at KU.  She is a founding member of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE)\, the presenting partner of this series. \n  \n \nThis series is presented in partnership with the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE). \n  \n\n  \nEvolution of the Modern First Lady: How We Got from Lady Washington to Dr. Biden\nFebruary 1\, 2023 | Featuring Michel LaRosa and Anita McBride \nSince George Washington made it clear that Martha was his partner in the presidency by providing her with her own schedule of meetings and having her serve as hostess and surrogate\, first ladies have each defined the role as it best suited their backgrounds\, personalities\, the times\, and their husbands’ views of the role. Some duties\, however\, remain the same since Martha and contribute to the informal or “soft” power of the first lady. This program looks at the position from the perspective of two individuals who worked for first ladies and who study them. \n \n  \nFirst Ladies and Power: Influential First Ladies You Might Not Know Much About\nFebruary 9\, 2023 | Featuring Rebecca Roberts\, Katherine Sibley\, and Teri Finneman \nAnyone asked to list the top first ladies usually draws on their own experience studying or knowing about the women during their lifetimes. A few first ladies were far more powerful than history classes typically reveal. This program centers on three of those women: Sarah Polk\, Florence Harding\, and Edith Wilson and the power they wielded\, each in her own way. \n \n  \nFirst Ladies\, Women’s Rights and Suffrage\nMarch 9\, 2023 | Featuring Nancy Kegan Smith and Stacy Cordery \nAbigail Adams was famous for her letter to John urging him to “remember the ladies” as a new country and government were developed. John and most of his successors ignored that plea until the early 20th century. This program looks at the women who supported women’s rights\, those who could have supported but chose not to\, and those who did not see a need for women to have the vote or hold political office and why they approached the issue of women’s rights as they did. \n \n  \nFirst Ladies\, the ERA and Beyond\nMarch 23\, 2023 | Moderated by Director Audrey Coleman\, and featuring Bob Bostock and Diana Carlin \nWhile the ERA did not pass\, three first ladies—Pat Nixon\, Betty Ford\, and Rosalynn Carter all supported the amendment. These women also supported other women’s issues as did several of their successors. This program explores some of the little-known efforts of first ladies to move women’s rights forward. \n \n  \n10 Defining Moments in the History of the American First Lady\, 1900-2023\nOctober 19\, 2023 | Featuring Myra Gutin \nThe history of the American First Lady has seen a number of defining moments\, incidents or challenges that are distinctive and leave a clear impression of the presidential spouse. Included in this presentation are discussions of Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson (1936); Jacqueline Kennedy’s Tour of the White House (1962); Betty Ford and Breast Cancer (1974)\, Hillary Clinton’s decision to run for the U.S. Senate (1999) and Michelle Obama becoming the first African-American first lady (2008).

SUMMARY:Chaos on the Campaign Trail: Inside a Tumultuous Race for the White House
DESCRIPTION:A GOP frontrunner under the cloud of legal peril is trying to stave off a crowded primary field and maintain his hold over a divided party. An incumbent president faces questions about his age and an uncertain economy. As the Republican primary hits its stride\, can anyone stop Donald Trump? And what does President Biden need to do to earn a second term? The race for the White House in 2024 promises to be an election unlike we’ve ever seen. Join us as we examine the state of the campaign with two prominent political journalists – Ali Vitali of NBC News and the Associated Press’s Seung Min Kim – in a conversation moderated by Brendan Buck\, NBC News Political Analyst and former top aide to House Speaker Paul Ryan and John Boehner. These insiders will help pull back the curtain and examine the questions that will determine who controls the White House in 2025. \nBrendan Buck is a Partner at Seven Letter\, a Washington and Boston based public affairs agency\, and he is an NBC News on-air Political Analyst. He spent twelve years on Capitol Hill\, serving as a top aide to two consecutive Speakers of the House. Brendan was Counselor to House Speaker Paul Ryan\, leading messaging and communications strategy for the speaker and House GOP. And earlier\, Brendan was Press Secretary to House Speaker John Boehner. Brendan was also on the 2012 Romney-Ryan presidential campaign\, serving as Press Secretary to the Vice President nominee. He’s held several other senior communications roles on Capitol Hill\, including for now-Speaker Kevin McCarthy. In 2017\, POLITICO named him to its inaugural Power 30 list\, and in 2020\, PR Week named him to its annual ’40 Under 40’. \nAli Vitali is a Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News based in Washington\, D.C. Vitali has reported on both President Biden and Vice President Harris throughout the 2020 campaign trail and through inauguration\, cabinet appointments and confirmations. In February 2023\, Vitali sat down with former President Mike Pence in an exclusive broadcast interview ahead of the 2024 presidential election and her continued coverage of the GOP field. As an NBC News “Road Warrior” in 2020\, Vitali followed and reported on the campaigns of Sen. Elizabeth Warren\, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bloomberg during the Democratic primary contests. She previously covered the Trump Administration as a White House Reporter for NBC News Digital and was a political campaign embed reporter on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. \nSeung Min Kim is a White House reporter for The Associated Press\, specializing in the nexus of the Biden administration and Capitol Hill. Before joining the AP in July 2022\, she had the same beat at The Washington Post\, where she led the publication’s coverage on President Biden’s legislative agenda\, Donald Trump’s relationships – and battles – with Congress\, and three Supreme Court confirmation fights. She has also served as a political analyst for CNN since 2018. Seung Min’s first major reporting role in Washington was as a congressional reporter for Politico\, where she spent more than eight years and primarily covered the Senate. She has also worked at USA Today; The Star-Ledger of Newark\, N.J.; the St. Paul Pioneer Press; the St. Petersburg Times and The Des Moines Register. She is the current president of the Washington Press Club Foundation and a longtime member of the Asian American Journalists Association. \nThis program is presented in partnership with KU’s Debate Team and the Institute for Leadership Studies. \nThe Robert J.

SUMMARY:The 2023 Annual Constitution Day Program: "Speech\, Guns\, and Federal Power"
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the U.S. Supreme Court has reshaped key aspects of American law\, including First Amendment speech protections\, firearms regulation under the Second Amendment\, and the Executive Branch’s powers to implement laws. The Court appears poised to continue reshaping these fields in the coming term through a set of potentially transformative cases. In observation of Constitution Day\, Associate Director Dr. Barbara Ballard will lead a panel of emerging leaders in the legal profession – each of whom are former Dole Institute SAB members – to discuss these changes and how they see the profession evolving in the coming years. \nAdam Steinhilber is an attorney from Overland Park\, Kansas who recently finished clerking for the Honorable Timothy M. Tymkovich of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. He previously clerked for the Honorable Mark S. Massa of the Indiana Supreme Court.

Emily hails from Neodesha\, Kansas. She graduated from the University of Kansas School of Law in 2023. At KU Law\, Emily was a three-time moot court national champion and was presented with one of the best speakers awards two years in a row at the moot court national championship competition. She worked as the Dole Institute Student Advisory Board coordinator for two years as an undergraduate at KU. Emily has also worked as a legislative fellow at the Kansas Revisor of Statutes office\, a legal intern at the U.S. Department of Transportation\, and a legal intern for Kansas Representative Barbara Ballard. \nJesse Burbank hails from Quinter\, Kansas\, and grew up moving around the world in a military family. He earned his bachelor’s degree with highest distinction in history and political science from the University of Kansas in 2017. He was a member of the Dole Institute Student Advisory Board\, and he served as Dole Institute Director Bill Lacy’s research assistant during his senior year. Jesse earned his law degree with honors from Harvard Law School in 2020\, where he was an editor of the Harvard International Law Journal. While in law school\, he served as a summer legal intern in the United States Supreme Court Office of Legal Counsel. He worked in private practice after law school at the law firm Sidley Austin LLP in Chicago before joining the U.S. Army JAG Corps in late 2022.
